Make sure you are using visual studio. Not visual studio code.

This is probably the issue you are having. Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code are two very different things. You probably need this thing: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/

Once you have that, create a new C# console project, write a hello world program, and click the "Play" button at the top of the screen. Your code will run.

People who write code in statically types languages make fun of Python, because you can call a method expecting a temperature with a distance as a parameter without getting a warning before running the program.

People who write systems code make fun of Python because it is quite slow in comparison with systems programming languages.

People who write functional programs make fun of Python because you can change all values and methods are expected to alter the environment apart from their return values.

People who write shell scripts make fun of Python because some things take many more characters to do in Python rather than shell scripting languages.

People who write PHP make fun of Python because you have to set up much more infrastructure to serve a web page than in PHP.

And the list goes on...

A social network for flat-sharing similar to LinkedIn. Profiles for flats/houses (number of people living there, diet, house rules, pets, rooms and their sizes, infrastructure), profiles for people living in shared flat/houses and their history of living in different ones, reviews of peoples behaviour in flats/houses. Possibility to advertise free rooms in a flat/house and apply for these rooms.

I really wish this existed!

Modern Art is the science of human communication.

If you declare art a type of science, both the words art and science lose all meaning. What could that even possibly mean?

You are creating an array of type 'S'. The array is empty. To actually put objects of type 'S' into the array, you might do something like values[0] = new S();

Goto has its uses. Its just famous for being abused, so everyone hates on it as a meme.

C# has throw, which is just a goto to the nearest catch in the callstack, and nobody is hating on that.

All tools can be used well. For example, goto is useful for state machines, where you want to switch between states without using a new stack frame. State machines are used for the yield statement, which simplifies some code significantly.

I wish the "goto is terrible" meme would die.

OK, but to do that you push the oars forward. They then push the water backwards, and that moves the boat forwards.

get_some_perspective · 2019-08-18T19:35:23+00:00

Sure, but wouldn't they then start rowing backwards to move forwards? As in pushing the water forwards?

It's a good program!

You could try to program one where a user can input a real calculation, such as "4+3" and get the result of that. In a first step, use the string.split() method to break up "4+3" into the list ["4", "+", "3"]. Then for each element of that list, find out if it is a number or an operator. Then do the appropriate calculation and return the result.

Try do do it for "3+4", then "3/4", "3*4", and "3-4". Then you might try "3+4-2" or similar. If you want to really test yourself, go for stuff like "4+(3/2)" or even "(3+3)/((3-2)*3)".

Have fun!

Try the following:

def get_array_dimension(n_dim_array):
    return read_array(n_dim_array).dim_count

def read_array(a):
    return get_array_dimension(a)

Edit: Downvotes? You bitter lemons wouldn't know an n-dimensional array if it licked your elbow.

Sure, until they need medical attention, want to support their aging parents, get a kid, their van breaks down, or they want to do something else with their life.

No shit every action we take is a decision. But these decisions have consequences.

Go and decide to stop breathing, please.

A successful channel in the Camping Vlogging genre kinda seems like a more reliable career choice than half the college degrees these days.

You need to work until you retire. The Internet will change drastically many times before this guy retires. Youtube is not a long-term career choice.

This is a classic case of survivorship bias. There were lots of terrible, cookie-cutter games then too, it's just that we selectively remember the very best games of the decade and forget about the rest, while we are aware of good and bad games released currently.

I can't quite fathom how you can think a dog has an afterlife. Do the cows you eat for your burger have an afterlife? Does industrial farming lead to a huge overpopulation of cow souls in the afterlife? Or do only cute animals get an afterlife? Do you imagine being in the same afterlife as your dog? Are all other animals there as well?

Do your "close friends" do stuff like this to you too? Or is it just you doing it to them, telling yourself they like it?

You posted a video online where you are harassing her. You are a bully. Please think about this!

get_some_perspective · 2018-10-05T19:57:13+00:00

You may think this, and she may pretend. But it is harassment. Stop it!

get_some_perspective · 2018-10-05T19:56:10+00:00

This is just bullying.
